Perhaps you would like to hear me sing

Or perhaps you wouldn't, in which case move along.

I'm part of two different singing groups, one of which, Los Angeles Vocal Artists, is a smaller offshoot of the bigger group, the Occidental Chorale. I recently discovered that our conductor put several mp3 files of stuff we did earlier this year up at our official website. You can go here to find the files. May I recommend "Beati Quorum Via" or "My Spirit Sang All Day?" Anyway, the Vocal Artists have some holiday gigs coming up. I'll let you know when and where they are as the dates get closer. And yes, I know that Los Angeles Vocal Artists makes a really easy acronym. Let's not talk about it. Just... let's not.

Poking around on these websites maintained by our conductor, Jeffrey Bernstein, I also came across this hidden gem. It's an a cappella choral arrangement of Ace of Base's mid-90's classic, "The Sign," written for and performed in the abysmal film Slackers. I know most of the kids singing it in the movie. I also, to my unending shame, saw that movie in the theater. To my credit, it starred Jason Schwartzman, Jason Segal (of Freaks and Geeks fame), and the elder Pete from The Adventures of Pete and Pete, who are all funny people, so how was I to know going in?
